Order Number: 5274

So often it is said that it is not possible to revise for English – particularly the Language element. This flexible resource, which is not linked to a specific examination board, is designed to show that you can successfully revise for both English and English Literature examinations while developing your students as independent learners.

Containing a sample revision calendar, taken from one of the trial school, Making the Most of English Revision offers a seventeen week programme that teachers can organise to suit the needs of their own students. As the resource focuses on structure rather than content, it is possible to revisit the sheets with different content. With over 50 pages of material, it is packed with interesting and innovative ideas for engaging students in their own learning and provides ample opportunities for them to develop their own personal revision skills and examination technique.

Making the Most of English Revision has been developed over several years by teachers to provide a structured approach to revision that is not dependent on specific texts. It has proved extremely successful with the results in the trial classes at least doubling targets. Clear explanatory sheets for teachers can be found at the start of each section.

Making the Most of English Revision is intended for use with all students who are currently studying for GCSE English and English Literature. Within the guidance for teachers, it also makes specific reference to supporting SEN, Gifted and Talented and EAL students. It can also be used to support students retaking examinations in Year 12 and 13.
